Università Roma Tre

The course aims to introduce students into Spanish Phonetics, Ortography, Morfology and Sintaxt from contrastive approach (Spanish/Italian), and it gives a survey of the main theoretical approaches to translation. Guided by the teacher, students will also explore Spanish translation from a linguistic and cultural perspective, will practice different kinds of excercises and learn to use fundamental bibliographical struments (grammars, diccionaries, lexical databases, etc.) for Spanish/Italian translation.
